[QUOTE=chuckc;1128990]hell yeah, call Hernan up too. they seem to like to play together :lol:[/QUOTE]
As he said a couple of months back.
[QUOTE]so you’re kicking off your four date US tour with Hernan Cattaneo at Marquee NY on March 21. Is there much preparation that goes into your gigs when you play together or are you at the point where you can essentially just turn up at a gig and go for it because you’re on the same page?
“It’s interesting. We don’t really talk about what we’re gonna do before we play together. I’ve done lots of back-to-back sets with people before like Jody, Dave Seaman, Danny Howells, Sasha and others. With some people, it works and with some people it doesn’t to be honest. Or it does one time, and then the next time it doesn’t really work. With me and Hernan, it always works every time because we’re kind of on the same page musically or we complement each other musically. It’s always good fun with him!”
When you have these experiences in these gorgeous settings, it must be nice to be able to share these experiences…
“Exactly! Me and Hernan always have a really good laugh. More and more now, we’re totally relaxed with the whole process and we really enjoy it. One of the things about DJing is that you should really enjoy what you’re doing as I think that it shows in your sets as well. Me and Hernan have many times stood back and thought, “Wow! What lucky buggers we are!”
You guys clearly enjoy working together. ver thought about recording a set or doing a mix together?“Yeah! We’ve discussed doing a CD together. I think a live one would be great! We’d pick a night that we’re playing together, record the whole night and then release it as a triple CD or something. That would be a great thing to do. We almost did it at Creamfields Peru last year but logistically it didn’t work out. It would be good to make a plan because I think it would be a great thing to do and I think it would be well-received as well. I kind of like that live thing where the mixes sometimes aren’t absolutely perfect or you’ll throw in the bassline really heavily and it really fits the mood of the night…
”Yeah, it seems like you two doing a mix together would be a really good ‘fit’. It’s kind of rare these days as a lot of DJs are very specific in what they play in terms of genre, but you and Hernan both have that downtempo, ambient side as well as a more banging proggy sound toward the end of the night.
“Exactly. We played in Russia recently and Hernan was playing some really interesting sort of funky, very melodic leftfield dance music, and I was really impressed with it. I think we’ll be bringing a lot of that into New York. We’re playing for six hours and for the first two hours we’re gonna be able to just play what we like really which will be good fun. We’ll play some deep stuff. There are even a couple of new breaks things. Now, I haven’t played breaks for a long time but there are a couple of tracks that I’m really impressed with. So, I shall be bringing those with me.”[/QUOTE]
